I’ve had a few requests for this ukulele song from Train’s new album already. So I thought I best get this one done before it turns into another Hey Soul Sister stand-off. Plus I like this one more than Hey Soul Sister.

If you want to play along with the original, shove a capo on the first fret or tune up half a step. But if you don’t mind playing in a different key you can just play it in standard tuning.

I’m never big on the lyrics Train has. “You are the leaves of my family tree” – what does that have to do with the rest of it? It’s like that line about his “untrimmed chest” in Hey Soul Sister. Why do I want to hear that?
They’re both catchy, but ..I admit I’m a bit embarrassed to admit I can play some of his songs. Ah well.

Thanks for the chords, I was kind of afraid to see what new ukulele song Train put out after Hey Soul Sister got overplayed to hell but I like this one, a bit more mellow (reminds me of his older stuff).

Just a heads up, there’s an Fm in the bridge but you didn’t put the chord chart up top for it. I happen to know Fm but that may throw a few people off, just so you know!

We are a ukulele club located in the central valley, Stockton, California. Dedicated ukulele players wanted to play, strum and learn from each other and to share knowledge with others so they may enjoy playing this super little instrument the call the “Jumping Flea”
